Welcome to a maze of poetry.
The segments of poems you're about to wind through are both human- and computer- generated. It is up to you to decide from which origin these texts come. As you wind through, if you get an answer wrong, your health will be deducted one point. If you get it right, you will move on to the next question.
How far can you make it through the maze?
